Surround by blood, inferno starts to engulf my skin
in the gulf of sin, burning my skin till it's paper thin
hallucinating, brain's wired with the stench of death
floating without strings, lighting flares every time I take a breath
controlled by evil demons, followed by feeble heathens
beating the sense out of innocent men until they nose is bleedin'
I hear the spirits chant my name in deadly unison
as they begin a ceremony, hand me a knife, and say ''time for you to sin''
blacking out, I search for a suitable civilian to kill
skin complexion turns pale, darkened eyes survey their will
slashing the skeleton, cannibalizing the flesh
capitalizing on the virgin because their blood is just fresh
as the blood drips from the lips to the fingertips
torturing my own body with heavy chains and whips
I black out, the rooms spinning, I'm getting nauseous
the painful screams shatters windows and the human conscious
awakened in a dark room, the whispers elevate to screams
I'm holding my head in agony hoping that it's just a dream
I see a man, he knocks me on the floor, and gashes my skull
hacks and slashes my body with a hatchet that's completely dull
he takes a knife, slices my skin, begins to peel it
I scream and cry with bloodstained tears in my eyes, yet he doesn't feel it
he's chopping my body into pieces from my arms to my feet
this man has no conscious, his demeanor colder then sleet
I look him into his eyes and that's when I realized
I'm being eaten alive by the very man I idealized
I'm being eaten by my own demons....I'm being eaten alive by me.....

I have to admit I had a bit of trouble reading your poem because of the length of the lines and the amount of emotion contained in them, but it is a fabulous poem and we all have our own inner demons to face.

I would suggest breaking your poem down just a bit though like:

Surround by blood,
inferno starts to engulf my skin
in the gulf of sin,
burning my skin till it's paper thin
hallucinating,
brain's wired with the stench of death
floating without strings,
lighting flares every time I take a breath

keep in mind that this is just a suggestion, but when I did this rather than focusing on the lines as you have them written it was much easier for me to understand and read
